1-I never tried before any P90 equipped guitar. Just common types-humbucker and single coil only.

2-I might dislike P90 due to the look of it. Boring and lame(sorry). If we are going to talk about commercialism here, most guitars come with humbucker or single coil configuration. Whether its HH,SSS,HSH,HS or whatever.

3-Tho basically P90 is also a single coil. As far as I remember those players that prefer P90 or other P9+ were not too many,WHY? David Gilmour with his GT LP, Gary Moore with his BFG LP and......?

4-Maybe because the generation of guitar players today prefer something like their own hero-humbucker or single coil pickups. I did not said that P90 is not good or any negative connotation here. Maybe one day I will give a try.

1-Better do it right than do it lightly. I mean its bout money game right?(business), you put a load of money and work it out hard to get profit. Its okay.Cool.

2-But its bout ethic that count later .

3-Once I had 3 friends approached me with their own MLM business. My reaction was-frustrated. One of them even react so bad like its a sin to not be his downline-I still have a problem with him till now, my senior to be precise. And last time I know bout him is he is doing something different now than MLM. No sorry ever come from him. Should I laugh now?No.

4-I don't need to elaborate more since Google can aid if you want more information regarding MLM. Read Aidid Muaddib's blog. Very informative.

'What's so great' about knowing Muslim values? – Chua [quote]"So what is so great about that? That is your religious value which I don't know. How am I to know about the religious values when I'm not practising that religion? I have the right to say that it's basic manners to shake hands with people. That's my values. Understand? You also must value my value, which is good manners, which includes shaking hands."

Harakah Daily

MCA president Chua Soi Lek appears to be on a warpath, defending his criticism of Muslim women who chose not to shake hands with the opposite sex for religious reasons.

In an angry reaction to questions from reporters, Chua insisted that the norm practised by many Muslim women to avoid skin contact with the opposite sex during handshake was contrary to "basic culture and manners to shake hands".

“I have been in the public life for many years. It's part of the basic culture and manners to shake hands," said Chua, who also scolded a reporter from online portal Malaysiakini, which first broke news of Chua's attack on PAS candidate Normala Sudirman.

Chua had poked fun over Normala's preference not to shake hands with the opposite sex, and compared it to a similar practice by PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

"She will not come here (a Chinese temple), she doesn't even shake hands with the people. I have received complaints about this.

“She is like Anwar Ibrahim's wife. She wears gloves when she shakes hands. If you can accept this kind of Islamic values, go ahead and vote for PAS," he said.

This was followed by deputy Domestic Trade Cooperative and Consumer Affair minister Tan Lian Hoe of Gerakan lashing out at Normala and saying her practise was proof of PAS's goal to establish "an extremist Islamic state".

“This is the most basic thing... Not only men, but when she shakes hands with women, she also needs to wear glove," alleged Tan in the presence of her minister Ismail Sabri.

"This is not friendly. It's as if she thinks our hands are dirty... I hope the Chinese voters are careful (with Islamic state). We are very worried about the Islamic state. They want to implement an extremist Islamic state," she added.

Chua's comments drew strong reactions from Muslims from both sides of the divide, with many recalling his sex video which exposed his adulterous affair in a hotel room in 2008. Even UMNO deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin chided him for raising religious issues in MCA's bid to convince Chinese voters that PAS would trample on non-Muslim rights.

Chua however dismissed Muhyiddin's reminder.

"There is no need for the DPM or the media to communicate this to us," an irate Chua was quoted by Malaysiakini as saying.

'What's so great?'

Despite the storm, Chua stood his ground, saying there was nothing great about knowing the Islamic religious values.

"So what is so great about that? That is your religious value which I don't know. How am I to know about the religious values when I'm not practising that religion?”

"I have the right to say that it's basic manners to shake hands with people. That's my values. Understand? You also must value my value, which is good manners, which includes shaking hands," he went on, as quoted by Malaysiakini.

“CSL says it's not fair for non-Muslim to understand Islamic values. No wonder BN's national integration policy has failed.

"CSL now blames the media for the hand shake issue. He never blames his narrow-mindedness and sheer ignorance,” added Teng on Twitter.

Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria has also broken his silence, and demanded Chua to issue an apology.

“He has to know... he must respect religious practices of others, but if he doesn’t know, that is ignorance. If he knows, but pretend not to, that is insulting Islam," said Harussani, but quickly added he was not supporting the PAS candidate.[/quote]

1-In my time back before 2000, I read the Malaysia Digest-Mastika. An article got my attention. Basically its about reincarnation.

2-I did not say that I believed that concept though it always come to my mind. 'Is it real?'

3-It was getting deeper when I read the Hong Kong's comic like Dewata Raya etc that have a Buddhist's influence especially the concept of reincarnation.

4-Then when I was in the university, a friend of mine gave me a video by Sheik Yusuf Estes. By then I know what I need to know about reincarnation from my faith's perspective. I am not slammed any religious believe here. Mind you. I am not slammed any religious believe here. Mind you. I am not slammed any religious believe here.Mind you.

5-From the explanation by Sheik Yusuf, I can understand how satan will never stop to tempt mankind just to make sure the promised made by Iblis Laknatullah(curse upon him)-to mislead the children of Adam and make them follow his way-will go forever.

6-We knew the story of reincarnation when someone admit and confess he or she know the thing of past. They will give the details of something like places, monetary, history of a deceased etc and then people will find later that the claim was true. That is the most basic of reincarnation.

7-In Islam, there are angel, human, and genie(Jinni-Jin by Arabic word). Angel was the most dominant between 3, follow by genie and then human(90:9:1).

8-Genie have their own system just like human. They got races, classes, faith etc. Genie that was a non believer(means Kaffir in the perspective of Islam)of Islam is called Satan.

9-They will spread lie to human. Since we cannot see them due to different dimension, its easy for them to come near with human and will try to influence to something bad and evil.

10-When a man born, they are accompanied with a 'friend'. Called 'Qarin' (Nemesis). It was a kaffir genie: a Satan. They will follow the man all over the man's life till the man die. By that, the Qarin sure will know everything details about his friend-the man.(woman also)

11-So it will never be impossible for the Qarin@Genie@Satan to tell all the matters and history of the deceased to someone and make that someone believe he or she was reincarnate from dead.

12-Got it? Its like have a teacher or Guide that will tell you everything that you never know before.

13-May Allah SWT help us. I'm just doing my part as a Muslim.To tell the truth and little knowledge of that I bear.. Wallahualam

1- I know I am a good friend buddy. Once I was trying so hard to help my friends. Money, time, things etc. I do that for my friend. It become triple for my Girl friend before.

2-Some of them did fail me. Never mind. Since I promised my self when I was a kid back then, I wanted to be a good man, a better Muslimin.

3-I had a thought before-why did they do this to me? The answer never come. Yea. Sometime I did something bad too but at least I will ask for forgiveness. But none of them said that 'sorry' to me. Except a girl.

2-As long as I remember, I used to say sorry so many times that people asked me to stop from keep saying. It did happened in 2006. When I....no I wont say it here.

3-But most of the people I know or used to know-sorry- will never come from their mouth. Most of these people believe by saying 'sorry' is equal to dishonor or downgrade them self.

4-I don't know.That is their problem to solved.

5-I love to say sorry as a symbol of respect between me and other. Some people may say that I did a lot of wrong doing whatsoever that make me feel sorry myself. Maybe its true. But sorry, that's not the point here.

Regarding my post on- FACEBOOK-DID I JUST CHANGE MY MIND OR WHAT?SOMETHING DISILLUSION? She(tanpa nama) then wrote-'....now, its proven that FRIEND is important to you than 'someone' who once in your life...kinda funny tho...you always complaint about how important a friend in that 'someone' life but now...you yourself prove it that you appreciate a request from a friend than her... well, i guess everyone did change....'

So my answers:

1-You used to be more important than anything before. I don't need to explain why you used to, you know yourself.

2-I did complaint bout how important your friends were compare to me and to this day I am still nobody for you, at least from the way you treat me.

3-I did changed for my own good due to what you have done.

I am sorry if this post make you feel uncomfortable. I did try to block you from be my follower, but I changed my mind. I want you,yourself, to block me since you said that before.

Wow. I prefer Explorer Studio(though this model was just release in NAMM 2011) than Les Paul Studio. Look like got no different than his older brother. Emmm...Bill Kelliher of Mastodon seem to have this kind of finish as I saw in Guitar World mag.

But as far as I know LP Studio cost at RM3000 as starter. RM3000? We can get other high end guitar.....not just entry/mid level like the Studio model. So let guess how much this will cost or I just get another SX Explorer style and mod it to extreme. Hehe. Save more money and more things that can cater my needs.

This song is one of the beautiful chords progression. Beautiful song. What made me learn and play this song is because this is Tun Mahathir's favorite song. So I took an initiative to learn/play this song even before I heard the song. Credit to ROTTW for the guitar chord.

Love this song the first time I hear it. When was that? 1998 or 1999? As far as I remember this song is a soundtrack for Armageddon movie. And that movie come out after Titanic. I still think it came out in 1998 since I was in Standard 6 then (1998). An excellent year for me. From zero to Hero.

This could be an evergreen song. Heard this before in 2006. Make me remember my old story with a Chinese girl. Love is beautiful though it demand a lot.

This is a special song for me. First time I heard this song was in my class in HBP E48 room. I dedicated this song to someone. You know who you are. Beautiful song.

Every time I hear this song and my mind will go back to 2007. I made this song as a ringtone caller under my Dad's name. With sound of rock guitar solo you sure can expect what people will said when I answer my Dad's call.

I have contacted the shop where I purchased the laptop and asking bout the service tag before I made all this email inquiries to you guys there at Dell.

No. The shop does not helping me at all and thats what make me refer to the manufacturer of my laptop-DELL.

I even asked the computer repair shop in my place but they said they have to refer it with Dell's agent. In the end I cant solve my laptop problem though I did contacted the manufacturer, finished.

So are you telling me with no service tag and not purchasing from Dell online though I did buy a DELL laptop so there will be no help at all with my problem?

Thanks.

Dear Muhammad,

Thank you for your time and effort to give the details as much as possible.

However, I am regret to inform you that information given is not sufficient to proof that it is purchase from us. From the service receipt, it is actually from the retailer himself and not service from our Dell because on the top of the service receipt it is written the shop that you bought it from and not from us. Thus i am sorry but i cannot provide you any support on this.

It is advisable to go back to the shop that you purchase the system from and demand for an explanation on why does the system do not have any service tag because every system that comes from Dell will definately have service tag and as it is for verification and tracking purposes, just like your Identification Card.

I already lost the original receipt, but I did have a proof of my purchased. Together here I attached the pics of the;

1-HDD replacement(500gb to replace the original 400gb)2- the sales receiptand the3-company's address.

Again, I bought this laptop(Dell XPS M1530) in July 2009. I asked a replacement for HDD since the original one died in March 2010,since still under warranty then, they send me one.

So this is the only evident and proof of my purchased that I have with me now. Hopefully Dell can help me solved this problem. I really love this laptop and even suggested it to my friends then.

Hope to hear from Dell soon.

Thanks.

Original Message Follows: ------------------------Hi. This is the attachment of my laptop's surface@physical@bar code .The HDD is situated under the left side. The fan is below the screen at right side , the battery is below the left side under the screen.

Original Message Follows: ------------------------

Hi

Thanks for reply. I attached together here the pictures of my BIOS. You can see yourself even in the BIOS, there is no service tag inserted there. I must state here that I don't have any idea why I don't have the service tag in my laptop's BIOS.

I understand that you are still unable to find the service tag in BIOS. As for the reason why we need is the service tag is to proof that this system is purchase from Dell and all of the computer purchase from Dell will have a service tag and that is why when you do not have a service tag, we are unable to help you with anything.

Not to worry, you can send us snap shots of the BIOS, and snap shots of any sticker and every surface of your system and send it to us for verification purposes. Please also send us a copy of your invoice or receipt as proof of purchase. Please be informed that the maximum file size i can recieve is only 6MB and if the total file size if bigger than that , i would appreciate if you could reply in a few emails. As for the picture of BIOS, you can refer to my attached picture on which page i am refering to and it should be almost the same.

As for the warranty extention, yes, not to worry you can still extend your warranty eventhough your previous warranty has expired however, we will need the service tag before any warranty extention can be done.

If you are facing any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to assist you.

1-I did follow the step you provide me but to no avail. I can understand since I bought the laptop (XPS M1530) from 3rd party( a shop-Ezytronic and brand new laptop not 2nd hand unit) so there may be a few consequences or risk whatever on my purchased. So there is no service tag with me as a package. (I cant even use F2 tab for safe mode or to use disk repair).

2-I tried also several methods that I found from Google and still did not help.

3-But from my research all around the internet,i find out that Dell can extend the warranty for my laptop model though mine was already expired (I bought it in July 2009). Found that here-http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=329774967502 and I kinda surprise to find all the problems related with this particular model-XPS M1530.

I should state that I already contact Dell Malaysia(1 800 88 0022) for help but they still insist for service tag even I told them I don't have it. So now what should I do since even Dell Malaysia cant help me?

6-I kind of frustrated since this is my 2nd Dell (the first one was Dell Latitude C640 and still functional and that caused me enough to buy my next Dell-XPS M1530). Yes, I love Dell brand just before the problem happened.

7-Honestly Dell is quite a prestigious brand here in my country- Malaysia. But with this kind of problem, it may reduce the good image before and I may have to advise my friends and relatives for any Dell purchase in the future.

Hope to hear from Dell soon.

Thanks.

Sorry if my words kinda harsh. I don't know what to do with my laptop now.

To assist you further, I would appreciate if you could kindly provide us the system's service tag together with the information below:-

• Service tag:( You may look for your service tag in BIOS)-Please follow the step below to go into BIOSa. Shut down your computer.b. Power on your computer, upon seeing the Dell logo, tap on the button to enter the BIOS setup menu.c. In BIOS, at the "Main" tab, you should be able to find "Service Tag"• Contact Name:• Address:• Contact Number:• Alternate Number: (Please provide if any)

As soon as we received your request, we will be able to assist you better with your request. Your patience and co-operation will be greatly appreciated.

1-Still not started yet though I am in the level of making a proposal-lean construction basically. And also settling the technical part-documents to upload, etc. Ermm..I wonder whether to write in English or just Bahasa Rasmi?

2-It's like a gambling actually. Whether or not I will achieved the dream of doing PHD, though from my prayer I got a hint to do it. Who know?Insya Allah. Financial?We now got My Brain 15 (lame word- basically a scholarship).

3-In preparing a mood (due to hearsay that PHD=Permanent Head Damage(Ibrisam Akbar,2009)), I love to read http://krenmaut.blogspot.com/ and currently just starting to read http://fakirfikir.blogspot.com/

3-The owners of these blogs^ currently doing their PHD/waiting(in case of Abang Ben) and they got lucky to do it there on the land of Kangaroo( read-oversea). Who doesn't have a dream to pursue study oversea?

edited from http://www.beritaunik.net/unik-aneh/23-ciri-ciri-orang-yang-cinta-kamu.html

p/s-Hopefully I can clear my mind from all the things from past that relating to love. Honestly as a man and a man that trying so hard to show his love, I admit that, I also feel sad. But it's okay. Allah have already show me the true color of what I need to know. Alhamdullillah. Better now or never.

1-I've read Slash autobiography, and found a very disgusting lifestyle of rock n roll, but its their culture;- Sex, drug and rock n roll. You can take the first two and just give me rock n roll (Joe Perry).

2-Axl also got an autobio, but I feel like not to read it. He is a good singer though, with bad temper.

3-Sweet Child O Mine will be an evergreen song. I found out its one of the most famous song in any jamming session aside Master Of Puppet (Metallica).

4-I love to have one of Slash's signature guitar especially the AFD version. The body finish is beautiful.

1-Former President of Ford Motor Company and Chrysler. Remember Ford Mustang? His the man behind the famous car.

2-Before I finished my MCE, his autobiography was my favorite book. I don't intend to review the book here. But I want to share and highlight what did I learned from this great man. I may make some mistake here(mind you I read the book in 2003) but please use your brain cell for consideration.

3-It doesn't matter what family background you come from. Lee come from an Italian immigrant family but his Dad did succeed in business before the great recession took place in the 30s.

4-Like what Bill Gate said before- respect the nerd guy, you might end up work for them. Lee did experienced this when most of his classmate make fun of his Italian background especially with the pizza vs pie comparison. You have heard Pizza Hut but have you heard Pie anything?

5-You may be a good engineer or whatever you are working with- but without good marketing skill you sure got wasted. That's what made Lee changed his course from Engineering to Marketing Dept later. And be creative. Before he got fired by Henry II, he helped the company gained $2 billion profit that particular year. With such caliber it doesn't guaranteed your career. So be careful with politic.

6-Family first, cos when you are successful or just got kicked off from higher position, they are the one behind you.

7-Be careful with the 'Man'. They have power and they also got no brain and heart.

2-Basically I don't care who or what band is on the cover. I just want to support. I already lost count how much of this mag I collect. If I am not mistaken, first ROTTW I read was when Ella on the cover. Or Rampage?Or Amy Search?Ermm. Don't remember.

3-What I dislike bout this mag especially when high profile band like Metallica, AC DC, Iron Maiden etc got to be cover story, all the band's bio will get inside the story also. All this I can get on the net. I don't want to elaborate more on what I dislikes with other parts in the mag. Don't let me start on music and religion. But like I said, I just want to support.

4-Sometimes I got to think if I really want to support, in the end what will I got in return?I don't care. I just want to support. Sound a bit 'bodek'...No, if I did, what the benefit I received?

5-Finally I realized why I wanted to buy the mag disregard who was on the cover...It's all because it bring me back to all the good old memory. I dont have a fix band, mind you. But when reading ROTTW my mind will flashback to the time, the hard time, when me and my 'temporary' band jamming together.

6-I am not a Rottwailer(not a dog, mind you) but this is how I show my support;- by buy ROTTW every month. Doesn't mean that;-I don't be a Rottwailer, not join the Soundstage or emailing/contacting the mag doesn't mean I am not giving any support to ROTTW.

1-For most of us, football or girls are the most favorite. But God had create special rare species on earth.-ROCK BAND.

2-Why special and rare?

3-When people love to date with girl and playing soccer at 6.30pm everyday, this rare species just wanted to be in a jam studio. Start from morning till the time to jam, this species will have a special feeling inside-'THIS IS WHAT I FAVORED MOST'. I said rare because not everyone can play music, generally. Everyone can kick a ball whether or not it straight into goal. Everyone can pose with a guitar but whether or not they can play a most basic chord-E Minor for example-is a question.

1-There was a time when the internet got hold by the superior, in this case USM's PUSAT KOMPUTER. Actually I believe until now the what do you call-internet censorship.

2-As a university student with the bloody passion to discover more on the net, Freegate come as a supercool software.

3-Now, I don't give a d#mn bout internet censorship no more since I use private BB line from Celcom the blood sucker. Yeahh. Much to debate but the best thing is no censorship. Plus I use it to extreme limit. Download and download and download. With a lot of line breakdown. That's common here.

4-Censorship should be understood for not just porn explicit adult materials only but anything that consume bigger byte from public or company's internet service that can make the server bear a problem with slow services that caused to chain reaction etc. At least from what I heard.

1-When I was in Standard 6 Red(DARJAH 6 MERAH), the whole class was answering a Math test. I remembered a question bout a labor's salary.

2-The question basically give a quote how much RM per day a labor can get(RM 'X') and we need to know how much the money that particular labor will earned in a week. So RM 'X' x with a week= answer.

3-Now we all know a week consists of 7 days right? But there will be a day leave like Sunday in the whole Malaysia except Kedah and Kelantan (I dont know if Terengganu also).

4-So I deduct a day in a week on that question and answering with full confidence.

5-Later i found out that I was wrong. The answer should include the one day that I deduct before. But how about if in a week there was a public holiday, M.C, or rainy especially if the labor work in construction site?Ermmm.

6-Now it make me thing how good actually the examination question in Malaysia been create even after 13 years since I answered that Math question?Talk bout thinking outside the box.

1-For a beginner, the most associate brand of guitar was the legendary 'Kapok'.

2-I don't know the history of this brand, when did it sail and landed in Malaysia,how many unit sold,what variation it offer,what are the production year for each unit,what are the wood used,but one thing I do know is I love this guitar and I will keep it forever.

3-My first guitar,of,course,(acoustic/student scale to be appropriate) was Kapok .Cost my Mom bout RM60.00. Actually I didn't like it at first, because my Dad before wanted to buy me a more branded (of course a little more expensive) and thin bodied guitar. Me and my Dad actually make a trip to every supermarket in our hometown to find a guitar for me, but it is written my first guitar will be a Kapok. Natural finishes. Beautiful back, side and top. Since I don't want a single scratch on it made me put a brown tape around it. A very bad decision actually, cos when I pull the tape off later, the body finish also got pulled off.

4- The first or second day i just plucking it for 'ice breaking' session. I actually broke a string in just a few hour after I got the guitar. I thought it will be hell to get a replacement. No. Just go to old school stationary or book seller and bought with just a few ringgit per string.

5-Then I start to learn a few chords from my cousin. His style of teaching is kind of a bit straight. He wanted me to keep the rhythm part while he sing and do the lead part. Man, I only just start to play. So then he gave me a chord book. I wish I keep the book now. From it I start to learn chord progression and my first learn song is Benggawan Solo....airnya biru,dikala hujan turun....Emm. Phenomenal.

6- I forgot how I change the thick gauge of acoustic strings to nice execute thin electric strings. It's a whole lot different avenue. My playing turn to be more and more faster. Note to note in less than 1/4 second. Yes. Shredder to be. I start to learn Metallica songs. The earlier one is the riff on Memory Remain. The chorus part with the guitar keep along singing the Dadadada Dadada Dadadada Dadadada Dadadaa Dadadadada.

7-I start to improve later more in shredding then knowing the basic. I can create a simple but fast riff on the spot, but I cant find the chord if someone said i.e F5 to A5 and stay, then C5 and etc. This kind of problem is called 'flashy guitarist'. Yeah. I have been a flashy guitarist once.

8-Then I start to evolve. More and more. Try to read tab. A bit confusing actually, since in tab you cant predict what are the right tempo though most of the tab also included the tempo. 4/4 or 3/4 or etc. The most successful tab reading I made at that time was covering the intro to Sweet Child o' Mine.
